here's my list of things that need to be released (detailed) for the next 3 builds, it will support DUST514`s strong points such as its vastness and specialization and will keep pace with the players while preparing to compete Planet side 2 PS4 release date (Planet side 2 is a free to play and has a much better review so the next 3 builds need to be carefully planned so I thought I`ll take a whack at suggestions). My reasoning on why I will put and where is based on keeping everything at a steady but improving state without leaving anything behind, this is based on items and nothing else.

Update 1 of 3:

2x racial Heavy and Sentinel Drop Suits STD-PRO.
1x Scout race variant, both light frame and scout STD-PRO.
1x Commando Drop suit race variant STD-PRO.
All Gallante HAVs variants and tech lvs.
all the Gallante LAV variants and tech lvs.
All the Gallante DS tech lvs and variants.
All the Caldari HAV variants and tech lvs.
All the Caldari LAV variants and tech lvs.
All the caldari DS varietns and tech lvs.
1x new heavy AV weapon.

Update 2 of 3:

1x Heavy and Sentinel Drop suit STD-PRO. (this completes all the race choices of the Sentinel and heavy frame drop suits).
1x scout race variant and light frame race variant STD-PRO (this finishes all the race choices of the scout and light frame Drop Suits).
1x Command Drop Suit race variant STD-PRO.
2x Pilot Drop Suit race variants STD-PRO.
1x Heavy weapon. (anti infantry... maybe a gallante Plasma Thrower? )
4x light weapon. (Minimatar AR, Caldari AR, LMG, long range weapon).
3x vehicle modules. (leach module, bubble shield module, other).

Update 3 of 3:

1x heavy weapon. (either AV or infantry based).
2x light weapon. (any).
2x hand held weapon (Gallante and caldari).
2x Pilot drop suit race variants TSD-PRO (this finishes off the pilot drop suits).
2x Commando Drop suit race variants STD-PRO (this finishes off the Commando Drop suits).
?x Drop Suit modules.
All Minimitar LAV variants STD-PRO.
All Minimatar HAV types STD-PRO.
All Minimatar DS roles STD-PRO.
All Ammar LAV types STD-PRO.
All Amarr HAV roles STD-PRO.
All Ammar DS variants STD-PRO.
2x LAA race varients.
2x mech or APC race variants. (something new for the ground guys).

#1 should be fixing steps lol my heavy suit constantly gets stuck at the top of flights

An automatic pulse laser for amarr would be awesome and eat shield for breakfast.

what it needs:

game modes that do not involved either draining the clone count nor blowing up an MCC.

Huh?

Items are cool and all but i would rather see maps and game modes added.

Plus if it takes that long (3 years!!!!) to only get a wider variety of items this game is dead in the water.

How about a mode that has chains of command bases that must be hacked to gain control (in between nodes are depots and CRU, so you can`t spawn directly on these nodes) you have to chain this nodes into a trail and connect it tot he hostile base, while keeping this 'chain' intact you must hack the reds main base and if you have fully hacked them and theirs a connection between the 2 bases then you team has won, I still think clone count is necessary because its a mercy kill system, if your being spawn camped for to long or just getting run down its an ender, but yes high clone count in some modes would be cool.

go ahead and post what you want to come in a full scale, I`ll be updating the OP with game modes and maps and stuff but I want people to add those in comments first.

also its 3 builds 1 year, which is PS4 ish release which bring in a few F2P games that can due some damage to DUST514.
